A variant of beiruit/beer pong played with 21 cups. Three people play on each team. The person directly across the table from you must drink any cup that you sink and vice versa, prior to shooting their next shot. Two skill cups (islands) are allowed per game, per person. Two racks are also allowed per team provided that there are ten or less cups remaining. After the last cup is hit, the team that hit the cup receives the balls. Each player then shoots another shot in the hopes of sinking it and thus eliminating the player across from them. Any players who are not eliminated are then allowed to take rebuttal shots, racks are allowed as requested by the shooter. The game proceeds to a six cup game of overtime in the event that all of the cups are sunk on rebuttal.

Get the Thruit mug.1. A word that actually means to drum one's fingers, or to strum a stringed instrument in an unskilled manner.
2. A word that is frequently misused to the point of cliché by amateur writers who think it's a hybrid of "throb" and "hum."
It isn't.

"The magic thrummed through his hands," the novice wrote, halfway though a uninspired first draft of a book that was driven by neither plot nor character development and yet would still be put in the hands of a jaded copy editor and published.

Get the thrum mug.A film sub-genre in which the characters are picked off one by one, often by a masked killer or malignant force. Salient examples: Friday the 13th (Jason); Final Destination (Death); Sunshine (the Sun).

Originating quote, from the review of "Sunshine"(2007) -
In many ways, Sunshine is a been-there-done-that cast-attrition thriller: Alien with an exterior monster instead of an interior one, Event Horizon with better effects and less gore, Pitch Black with the contrast turned way up. The cast members make wry jokes about getting eliminated one at a time, horror-movie style, but they still follow all the horror-movie procedures, even duly splitting up in a dangerous, unknown situation. It's like they've gracefully accepted that they're just hitting a series of predestined, genre-mandated marks. - Tasha Robinson, Onion A.V. Club

Get the cast-attrition thriller mug.Originally uttered by Leo Geotz (played by Joe Pesci) in "Lethal Weapon 2", it has come to signify a grudging acceptance of a shitty situation that one is powerless to change.

"I think the chances are that he's no longer with us," Thrillionaire #1 Richard Branson said of his friend, Thrillionaire #2 Steve Fossett. "I think everybody involved has pretty well given up hope, sadly."

Get the Thrillionaire mug.The idea that once something has been achieved or captured, one loses interest in it. Chasing after it was more satisfying than actually having it.
Reporter: Tom, why have you remarried so very often?
Tom Cruise: I tend to lose interest after several years of marriage. A younger woman always catches my eye.
Reporter: Ah, so it's all about the thrill of the hunt for you.
